M F ∆ W :verified:<p>Jupiter&#39;s monster storm, the Great Red Spot, was once so large that three Earths would fit inside it. But new measurements by NASA&#39;s Hubble Space Telescope reveal that the largest storm in our solar system has downsized significantly.

M F ∆ W :verified:<p>This is how Jupiter has protected earth for billions of years. The gravity of Jupiter keeps most asteroids and space rocks away from Earth.

M F ∆ W :verified:<p>Magnetic field lines detected by the airborne SOFIA observatory are overlaid on a Hubble image of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). Surprisingly, the magnetic field lines in the outer arms do not follow the galaxy&#39;s spiral shape. Intense star formation in these outer regions may be causing magnetic chaos, and the gravitational tug of neighboring galaxy NGC 5195 probably also plays a role.<br /><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/astronomyoftheday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>astronomyoftheday</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/astronomysociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>astronomysociety</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/astronomyatmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>astronomyatmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Hubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hubble</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/NASA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NASA</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ESA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ESA</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/SOFIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SOFIA</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/galaxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>galaxy</span></a></p>
